Formscan By Dan McEvoy - Runner up on debut HELLORHIGHWATER can go one better after an encouraging debut. Relatively unfancied in the market beforehand, the son of Sergei Prokofiev was very professional and stuck to the task well but was just unable to catch the winner who got first run. The exposed Iron Fist sets the standard in this contest, with an official rating of 84, as he drops back into maiden company after a troubled run in a Curragh handicap. Jessica Harrington’s contender may just be vulnerable to an improver, and this could come in the form of Jousting who cost 1.2 million dollars as a yearling. Aidan O’Brien’s colt faded somewhat tamely in a Naas maiden close home but should be more resolute on this occasion. Adieu Spirit is also of interest as he cost 185,000stg in the Tattersalls Craven Breeze up sale and showed some promise when keeping on for fourth in a Naas barrier trial.
